Study note
Setting — The narrator details the construction specifications of the bronze stands during the building of Solomon’s temple.
The words — אוֹפַנֵּי ('o.fa.Nei) = wheels of [H212] and נְחֹשֶׁת (ne.Cho.shet) = bronze [H5178]. Each stand was fitted with four bronze wheels and matching bronze axles to support the basin.
The thread — Wheeled structures accompany the living creatures in Ezekiel 1:15, 3:13, and 10:10, where the prophet records their presence within the divine vision.
Why it lands — The explicit enumeration of materials and components demands attention to the deliberate craftsmanship required for sacred objects.

The Hebrew words
King James Version
And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
